Guerrilla TV Archive, [ca. 1965-1997] (bulk 1970-1989).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/476051899

The archive primarily reflects Deirdre Boyle's research for the book Subject to Change: Guerrilla Television Revisited. The guerrilla TV movement began in the late 1960s with the commercial release and marketing of the portable video camera. It documents the growing accessibility of video technology and the rise of video collectives committed to using videotape as an artistic, storytelling, documentary, and socially transforming medium. Additionally, the archive shows the development of video preservation concerns, the rise of video collections within public and academic research libraries and the connections between underground video, cable and corporate television networks. The archive is particularly rich in personal interviews between Boyle and many influential individuals such as Skip Blumberg, Allen Rucker, Wendy Apple, and Michael Shamberg, who were involved in video collectives such as Top Value Television (TVTV), the Videofreex, New Orleans Public Access Cable, and Broadside TV, among many others. The materials span the mid-1960s through the early 1990s offering a comprehensive view of the guerrilla TV movement and activist media, in general, through interviews, articles, publications, photographs and publicity materials.
